Which gear should be used for automatic transmission when climbing a steep slope?

[LeMariana]

For automatic transmission when climbing a steep slope, use the L gear. If there is no L gear, you can use the S gear or M gear. There are three driving tips for automatic transmission: 1. When waiting at a red light: Depending on driving habits, you can temporarily stop and hold the brake in D gear because the torque converter in the transmission is equipped with a reaction wheel with a one-way clutch, which amplifies the torque from the engine crankshaft. It does not rotate at engine idle speed and only functions when the engine speed increases; 2. When starting to move: You must press the brake pedal to move the gear lever from P gear or N gear to a driving gear. Release the brake pedal, and the vehicle will slowly move. The purpose of pressing the brake in advance is to ensure the safety of the driver and the vehicle; 3. When starting the engine: The engine can only be started when the gear lever is in P or N position. If the gear lever is in a driving gear, such as D, R, etc., the engine cannot be started.
